Lindal Turritella
The Lindal Turritella Scarf knitting pattern is part of my Lindal Collection focusing on short-row knitting techniques and highlighting the way color uniquely pools within the shapes of this design, which is well suited to self-striping and gradient yarn.
This pattern is also part of my Systema Naturae Collection and eBook. All of the designs from this collection are inspired by the beautiful organic shapes of seashells. Turritella comes from Latin turrittus meaning “turreted” or “towered” and the diminutive suffix ~ella. A genus of medium-sized sea snails with tightly coiled shells, whose overall shape is basically that of an elongated cone. (Children will find this design fun and whimsical knit in bright and sparkly colors like a unicorns horn!)
